Spencer County Community;

First, I want to thank you for your patience and flexibility as weโ€™ve navigated the recent winter weather. Our road crews and maintenance teams have been working tirelessly, and we are excited to welcome everyone back to the classroom!

Spencer County Schools will reopen on Monday, February 2, 2026, on a 2-hour delay.

While the main roads are clearing nicely, this delay is a strategic decision centered on safety. By pushing our start time back by two hours, we provide our bus drivers with the benefit of full daylight. This extra visibility is crucial for navigating narrow routes and managing turnarounds that may still be partially obstructed by large piles of plowed snow.

Important Points for Monday:
Start Time: All schools will begin exactly two hours later than their normally scheduled time.
Bus Pick-up: Your childโ€™s bus will arrive approximately two hours later than the usual morning pick-up.

Our drivers are the best in the business, and we want to ensure they have every advantage as they get our students to school safely. Please continue to exercise caution on your morning commute and keep an eye out for those yellow buses.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday morning!

Warmly,

Dr. Willie Foster, Superintendent
Spencer County Schools

Two Hour Delay 02.02.2026
Spencer County Community;

Unfortunately, there are still a handful of roads that are not safe for bus travel. We realize that this has been a challenging week for many families, our students, and our staff. We are optimistic that next weekโ€™s forecasted temperatures will allow these areas to thaw and improve.

Spencer County Schools will be closed on Friday, January 30, 2026. This will be a traditional snow day.

Spencer County Community;

As we continue to deal with the impact of the past weekendโ€™s winter weather event, I first want to share our gratitude for our city, county, and state employees who have worked around the clock to clear our roads to the extent possible. We are VERY fortunate to have hard-working, prideful leadership working for us! On behalf of Spencer County Schools, we thank each and every one of you.

Unfortunately, the amount of snow and ice we received will take additional time to clear area roads and all campuses to the point that we can deploy our bus fleet and reopen.
